I never liked Shorten but they were good policies and you can add the franking credit changes as well. But since they lost him a seemingly unlosable election it has scared off anyone else from championing them, to the country's detriment.
It's the same in any bureaucracy. Do people think the chiefs of medical, education or police systems for example are there because they are the best doctors, teachers or cops? They get there because they are the most politically-minded.
It wasn't a confession note. She had been encouraged by her therapist to write down all of her thoughts, which is why it reads like incoherent rambling.
You are correct. I don't agree with Trump's 'diplomacy' of going to level 10 if level 1 negotiation tactics don't work but clearly they are just a means to an end.
To an extent the US and Canada are reliant in each other, but the country for whom the trade makes up a greater % of GDP is always going to be the most reliant on the other and will have the most to lose in a trade war. In this case, that is Canada.
If they decide to stop sending goods to the...
Let me know when you start posting facts as opposed to your fantasies about what you want to happen or unsourced claims about what Trump has/hasn't done.
No-one is going to side with the smaller country in a trade war. At an individual level people won't care enough to change their habits, and governments will look for opportunities on both sides to improve their country's position.
Also no-one knows for certain how this will play out although...
Depends what the tourists are into. Most of my travel has been outside of the cities, not due to the political leanings of the inhabitants but because the national parks have spectacular scenery and a lot of the more uniquely American culture is found outside of the global cities.
I'm not the...
Wanting to limit your travels to Blue states strikes me as wanting to continue to enjoy an echo chamber. Travel is supposed to broaden the mind, not close it.
Huh? Where have I said or implied that? You're actually agreeing with my point that 70m people do not all represent the Trump voter stereotype that is regularly trotted our in this thread.
Agree with your prediction but disagree it will be a good thing. Likely be Greens demanding their pound of flesh for propping up a minority Labour government, an arrangement that won't work and will force another election well before a full term.
Agree on your second paragraph but where on earth would you find anyone without bias to be able to determine what is misinformation?
And the key to people helping themselves to do so is trust in their information sources. Invalidating people's votes obliterates their trust in whomever does it.
Note that there were no suggestions that the votes for that candidate were not legitimately cast. Taking away the agency of voters by deciding they have been misinformed is a far greater threat to democracy than some foreign bot accounts.
"Take the positive" out of people dying because they probably voted for someone you don't like? Do you actually think of yourself as good and tolerant when you post shit like that?
Yep - the mandatory vaccination policy at my private employer was extended to mandate boosters in January 2022 with the laughable justification that it "remains one of the most effective transmission deterrents for Omicron".
The policy wasn't rescinded until November 2022.
It wasn't an immunisation; if it was then you wouldn't have needed to take 5 of them.
Your jabs provide zero benefit to anyone other than yourself, but your erroneous belief that they did led to some awful policies that killed some people and cost many more their jobs and their ability to...
Why on earth would you think I would be in favour of something so illiberal? Be honest though, you'd have loved that level of surveillance for anyone breaking Covid rules.
